Name's Jason Thibeault. I'm an IT guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS, science of all stripes (especially space-related stuff), and debating on-line and off. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.

Dear racist, misogynist, homophobic trolls: THANK YOU!

Clever Pie has crafted what could be the ultimate love song to the most useless and hate-filled parts of the internet. Also known as, “its general populace”.

I really hope those of you who get off on this kind of trolling see this video and have a moment of self-reflection. You know, at least long enough to realize that maybe you should re-lube and switch hands. No no, don’t stop to wipe the Dorito spice off. It’ll make it tingle.

Maybe people troll you because you waste time on drama and stupid first-world problems.

Honestly, think of how the world is going to look around, say 2050, if current global trends continue (which they most likely will). Are you honestly going to be able to look back on the stuff you thought was so important now and say “I fought the good fight!”

inb4 “Well what are you doing?” — I’m not a sanctimonious, sock-sniffing leftard crusader so there isn’t any onus on me to prioritize issues.

I’m not arguing with the fact that I can spend my time better than by arguing with folks who think that trolling people is the best way to spend theirs. In fact, I agree wholeheartedly. That’s why I’m not giving your position terribly much credit except to thank you for your kind words and moving on with my life.

While I’m sure others are probably amused by this exchange, you’re pretty much boring me at this point. I’m going to go deal with problems for now. You can keep trolling me and proving why this video was necessary.
